User jLimo posted about linking all 5 Catskills Fire Towers in a day. Note that this includes driving between the trailheads.

Has anybody posted about completing all of the Catskill Fire Towers in one day? Recently, I completed them in this order, unsupported. I carried all I needed for the entire day including water. While there are springs on some of the trails, they were not utilized. It was just myself for the driving as well, not sure if that makes any difference, but here are the basic details of the day.

Brian Culmo posted the route:

The Monroe Skyline is an iconic section of the Long Trail in Vermont. This run is on the southern part of the section, It covers 2 of Vermont's 5 4000ft peaks (Mt. Abraham and Mt. Ellen) and traverses one of Vermonts most prominent ridgelines. This Gap2Gap2Gap run (Appalachian Gap to Lincoln Gap) follows the Long Trail the entire time. I started at Appalachian Gap and ran on the LT southbound to Lincoln Gap then ran back on the LT northbound to finish at Appalachian Gap.
